I'm gathering funds to build a new PC, and I found a 5070 graphics card priced at €589. I've heard that GPU prices might rise again soon. Should I go ahead and buy the 5070 now, or wait for something better?

At that price, €589 for the 5070 seems reasonable. If you're okay with the current specs and performance, go for it. Just keep an eye on DLSS advancements; they're making the 5070 more appealing for value.
If you can find the 9070XT for just a little more than the 5070, it’s worth the extra cash for better performance. You might want to shop around!
Exactly! For about the same price, the 9070XT gives you more raw power and better future-proofing.
Maybe consider the Rx 9070 instead; it often performs better. Prices for RAM and SSDs probably won't go up much more after their recent hikes, but you never know in this market.
Honestly, if the 5070 is your best bet right now, it’s not a bad option, but just know that 9070 models are hitting the market and might be a more solid long-term investment.
It really depends on what you need it for. If you won’t be gaming at extremely high settings or resolutions, the 5070 could still serve you well.
True, and honestly, for most games, 12GB of VRAM is sufficient. Sure, 16GB is better, but I’ve been playing at 1440p with my 5070 without issues.
